Did you know? Most expensive car collection sells for $67m

Cars could be much more expensive than you can ever imagine.
The most expensive single-car collection ever sold during
one auction fetched more than $67 million, showing continued strength
in the collectible car market.
Twenty-five cars, all owned by an anonymous Florida collector, were
sold last Thursday by RM Sotheby’s in a standing-room-only sale as part
of the Concours d’Elegance auctions and shows in Pebble Beach,
California. The sale total beat the previous record for a collection
from a single owner of $65 million.
The top car by sales price was a 1964 Ferrari 250 LM that went for $17.6 million.
A 1998 McLaren F1 LM road version—one of only two built—fetched
$13.75 million, marking the highest price ever paid for a McLaren at
auction.
The so-called Pope’s Ferrari sold for $6.05 million. The car, which
was the last Ferrari Enzo produced, was given to Pope John Paul II in
2005. The pope never drove the car, but sold it for charity.

A 1994 Ferrari F40 LM sold for $3.3 million, as did a 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4.
One of only 32 produced, this 1964 Ferrari 250 LM sold for $17.6 million at the Concours d’Elegance auction in Pebble Beach.
This 1986 Ferrari Testarossa, featured in the 1980s hit TV show “Miami Vice,” is set to hit the auction block.
A Koenigsegg CCXR that appeared in the movie “Fast Five” sold for $825,000.
The sale marks a success for the newly formed partnership between RM
and Sotheby’s, and is expected to set the tone for the rest of the sales
in Pebble Beach this week. More than $400 million worth of classic cars
will be auctioned in Pebble and Monterey, California, as part of the
Concours d’Elegance week.
